Sorry no idea. I don't usually note down numbers of locos sitting around. It's bad enough trying to note down the unit numbers and loco numbers of trains . I've travelled on

Interesting news from Richard Clinnick. Class 321 renatus unit to be used alongside 745's on Norwich services to replace the class 90s from April. They must be expecting a really slow introduction of more 745s if they are are taking the time and trouble to train drivers on the 321s...

So @dk1 - You're going to be trained on Renatus 321's until the 745 fleet is fully introduced. That sounds like a white flag in getting all the 745s in service by April.

Saw that last night.

Is it back in service now?

Is it me, or do the 315s and 317s have a better ride quality?

Okay it has now restarted and left 15min late.

In concerning news 010 has had a hissy fit after arriving at Manningtree from Ipswich through the neutral section. No power to start. Driver having to reboot!! This was a problem reported before they entered service. Why has it not been fixed??

What diagram is it on?

What chance the third diagram will be the nin90?

On an original diagram then.

What diagram is the WA unit on today please?

Any indication as to which diagram?

I was about to ask whether it might be for tyre turning lol?

Thanks - Also looking for unit numbers on the following: 26/2/2020 9R56 1143 Paddington to Reading, and 2N40 1427 Didcot to Paddington. Cheers.

Can anyone confirm what unit was on 1D22 Paddington to Oxford on 26/2/20? Thanks in advance

I simply cannot believe that! The wheels would have been worn up to the axle - surely. The sparks from wheel rubbing rail as it was dragged along would surely have been flagged up very quickly - you would hope! Maybe a few kilometres, but no chance along the whole journey!

I was told - quite reliably - that at least two units were ready to be accepted - all fault free running completed - but suffered wheel flats and currently needing attention - I.E wheel turning! something to do with them having suffered the wheel flats while being shunted around - possibly a...

The 360's performance is wasted in the current timetable! But yes, a 321 would never have made up that sort of delay! Of course it often depends on whether other trains are pathed in front. I had an almost identical situation many years ago. If I'm ever happy to see a train late, it is usually...

A Class 345 (TFL rail version of the Aventura) does 0-90mph in 74 seconds. A Class 360 needs nearer 2 mins. So there is likely to be a step change in performance if the power to weight ration for Class 720 remains similar to the 345's! Class 755 drivers are already saying the 360's feel...
